RE: [phplib] Which M to FR From: Chris Johnson (chris <email protected>)

The vast majority of the PHP functions
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/funcref.php) are always built-in. Some of
them, like GD, database, LDAP, etc. require other libraries at the time
you compile and build PHP. For example, you need the MySQL client
library in order to compile in the MySQL functions (e.g.
mysql_connect()) into the resulting PHP executable or PHP server module.

Read the how to install from source documentation for building PHP. I
don't know that there is a comprehensive list of functions and which
libraries they need, if any, but when you choose what you want to build
in, it will tell you what 3rd-party libraries you need.

PHPLIB is a library of software classes written *in* PHP and meant to
help people developing web sites using PHP. If you want to use the
MySQL class in PHPLIB, then your PHP executable has to have been built
with the MySQL library, as I mentioned above.

Does this cover your question, generally? Can you be more specific,
given this information?
